simon joyner / the mountain goats | why you all so thief?

split single of greatness - today's digital recording doesn't quite evoke the same fragility as good old humble 4-track tape hiss.

7" released by sing, euncuhs! in 1994.

fostex.

various | songs from a room

a compilation that mines a rich seam of excellent american (+ 1 dutch) 4-tracker action. hushed whisperings from lonely men in an age when the cassette was still king.

::: franklin bruno - winter's just a word
::: vehicle flips - lockout song
::: ron house & matt wyatt - broken man
::: simon joyner - robin hood
::: ramon speed - vassar

7" released by sing, euncuhs! in 1996.

i don't give a shit mom i'm sick.

various | our salvation is in hand

following on from abridged perversion is this gem of a compilation, stuffed to the gills with lo-fi 4-track songs from the days when people still had 4-tracks. makes me nostalgic for the days of cutting out tape inlays and gluing labels and stuffing jiffy bags full of flyers. in other words the days before the internet came along and stole our innocence.

features my favourite mountain goats song ever, alpha omega. theme park was a great label too.

released in 1995 on theme park.
